DESCRIPTION:In 1974, Thet Sambath's father became one of the nearly two million people 
 who were murdered by the Khmer Rouge when he refused to give them his 
 buffalo. Sambath's mother was forced to marry a Khmer Rouge militiaman 
 and\ndied in childbirth in 1976, while his eldest brother disappeared in 
 1977. Sambath himself escaped Cambodia at age 10 when the Khmer Rouge fell 
 in 1979.\n\nFast forward to 1998, and Sambath, now a journalist, got to 
 know the children of some senior Khmer Rouge cadre and gradually earned 
 their trust. Then, for a decade, he spent weekends visiting the home of the 
 most senior\nsurviving leader, Nuon Chea, aka Brother Number Two under Pol 
 Pot. "But he never used to say anything different from what he told Western 
 journalists," says Sambath, "'I was low-ranking,' 'I knew nothing,' 'I am 
 not a killer.'\nThen one day he said to me 'Sambath, I trust you, you are 
 the person I would like to tell my story to. Ask me what you want to know.' 
 For the next five years he told me the truth, as he saw it, including all 
 the details of\nkilling." \n\nSambath also won the confidence of 
 lower-level Khmer Rouge soldiers, now ordinary fathers and grandfathers, 
 who demonstrated for him how they slit people's throats. It was the first 
 time these murderers admitted what they had done. He taped their 
 interactions, and together with British documentarian Rob Lemkin created 
 this landmark film.\nFor Sambath, it has been an ongoing, lifelong personal 
 journey to discover what was behind such horror; he neglected both his 
 family and his own happiness in the search for truth with hope of 
 reconciliation. ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE is at once a cinematically beautiful, 
 chillingly insightful, and deeply personal piece of documentary filmmaking.
